Academics

ELIO academy offers a 2-week program onsite and online program in which bio-medically oriented high school students are invited to learn basic skills of scientific research from career scientists pursuing research at several world renowned institutes in US.


The goal of the program is to nurture the interest in biomedical sciences and research early on. Our students learn and apply techniques for a medically oriented project. The program concludes with presentation at the closing colloquium.


Course offerings include: Cancer Biology, Immunology & Immunotherapy, Genomics Data Science, Biotechnology, Biomedical Engineering, Neuroscience, and Virology.
 
There are no prerequisite courses for the program, as the experienced instructors cover the basics needed for comprehending the concepts and engaging in discussions. More information is available at the student testimonials page. 


Our online version of the program enables students from across the world to be a part of this exciting learning opportunity, from instructors and from each other. 


Students learn building hypotheses, collaboration, navigating scientific literature, and making and presenting scientific presentations, focused upon the course content and science breakthroughs.


We have a large online presence and supportive community of student alumni, who have gone on to their own successful paths.


By the conclusion of the course, students will have a good understanding and exposure to diverse fields of biomedical sciences. With the provided resources and continued support of our mentors, students will pursue their interests and learn during their school year. Our past students have found the course helpful in crystallizing their path forward in college/career via extended biomedical summer internships.


During the courses, there will be One-on-one meetings with Instructors
Explore potential college majors and elective subjects with our instructors for your potential career options. They are happy to chat with you about your future plans. You can start building your college portfolio early by learning and developing a deeper understanding of complex advanced subjects.


As a part of this health biomedical sciences summer camp and its nurturing community - Our students will have access to all our instructors, alumni, and fellow students to discuss and ask questions long after the course completion.
